Oof, that's commitment.

Cast is some hard shit... Drilling it sucks.

Cast is brittle. It drills super easy. I've had 2x4 from homedepot give me a harder time. Just lean on drill to give it that umph.

Just put it in the dishwasher then.

That’s a sin! The goal is to leave it presentable, as a decoration but ensure no one puts food in it
